You have got me thinking now

Rick, is there any chance of you posting a picture of this setup?
also as english gallons and merkin gallons are different can you tell me how many litres it holds?

Christ, I hope my girlfriend doesn't spot this post cos she thinks I have spent enough on this bike already :wink: Just tell her you need it so you can make sure you make it back to her! :lol:

So roughly how much would this setup cost a non sponsered pleb like me?

Rick:
Here is the info on the web page with a real picture.

If this does not work, just go to www.ziptyracing.com and follow the links to the KX kit.

As for liters, according to my handy, dandy conversion chart, there is about 3.8 liters to the gallon, so 4.2 gallons would be roughly 15.9 liters.

As a note, I also run a KX250 rear fender, so the bike makes a lot of folks stop and look twice.  In fact, until I kick the big green monster over, quite a number think it is a KX250.

Sharc:
The ZipTy's cool but seems pricey. I got the IMS for $199 from RockyMtn, I think 3.6 gal. Works with any pipe, stock shrouds, and uses stock fuel valve/petcock. Came with new large mouth gas cap. Easy plug access too. Works great, a little big at the seat junction, but not too bad. I like it and it lasts for more miles than I do.

 :lol: Marc the Sharc :D
